Course Objectives:
The objective of this course is to teach the student object oriented programming concepts such as,
encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism, also this course will give an introduction to generic
programming. By successfully completing this course, the student will be able to think and write programs
using the object-oriented paradigm.
Course Description:
This course is intended as an introduction to object-oriented programming using C++ for students already
familiar with the C language. Participants will learn the fundamental concepts of C++ including object oriented
concepts, program structure, classes, reference types, C++ I/O, and overloading.
Intended Learning Outcomes :
Successful completion of this course should lead to the following learning outcomes :
A- Knowledge and Understanding :
A1) Understanding of the basic components of an object-oriented program including methods and attributes
A2) The distinction between classes and instances
A3) Apply the design process using basic object-oriented design notation
B- Intellectual Skills :
B1) Identify and design suitable classes and class hierarchies and code robust class implementations in C++;
B2) Apply the principles of information hiding using C++ facilities for private and protected class attributes
B3) Employ C++ facilities for dynamic storage
B4) Employ C++ facilities such as operator overloading, templates, inheritance and dynamic binding to
promote code re-use;
B5) Program using the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) at an intermediate level
C) Subject Specific Skills:
C1) Handling software complexity
C2) Object-Oriented programming
C3) Encapsulation and information hiding
C4) Object relationships
C5) Class Inheritance
C6) Dynamic binding
D) Transferable Skills:
D1) Model problems
D2) plan your work and keep to deadlines
D3) demonstrate a range of basic C&IT skills, including use of the Web to locate study materials
